Very good food , average ambiance and for such an expensive place to dine I would of liked more comfortable chairs(not flat wood) and nicer tables with a table cloth or better looking tables than they have. Food was prepared excellently.

Loved the diversity of brunch menu, highlighting local and seasonal food! BBQ oysters cooked to perfection with great balance of flavors without overpowering delicate oyster. Tuna benny on point with local sea beans, basil, and tomato. Buddy had NC state rockfish poboy, 10/10. Thoughtful sustainable food and great service, will definitely be back!!!
